Lyrics.

I think the lyric goes "If the righteous steal your bones..." but this is up for debate. I've also heard people say they thought it was the following:-

"If the rapture steal your bones"

"If the Russians steal your bones" (Actually, I joked that this was the correct lyric but never actually believed that it was)

"If the rats should steal your bones"

I've asked the lads the correct lyric myself but never got a reply....

I dunno if this is any help to you?

Oh, actually - while we're on the subject of lyrics, I'd like to know how the lyric on Slow Parade goes - is it "dragging my unwell feet onto the stage", or "dragging my underwhelmed feet onto the stage" or something completely different?

Mmmm.. i sort of put my money on the cd i bought online.. a lyricsbooklet was on my mind..but reading this question means it will not be there.. since i live in the Netherlands and dutch is my 1st language it is even harder for me to hear what is said..
Good idea would be to put up the lyrics on this site :)

unwilling feet :0)

I like "if the Russians steal your bones", it sounds like some sort of bizarre cold-war spy reference and from now on that is what the line will be in my mind.

I don't think there is a definitive here to be honest. Jamie won't tell me... :(

We're dancing to the tune...

or

We're dancing toe to toe?

otherwise, good job Emz, care to give Nearly Home a shot?

Yeah, that was the part that got me to - I did mean to put a question mark on the end of the suited lies bit coz I'm still not sure about that. I did kinda cheat and listen to Nearly Home about a dozen times while I was posting that, so I'm pretty sure about the rest of it, but as far as "suited lies"/"cheating locks" I'm definitely open to suggestions coz I really was pretty much guessing.

So - your turn then. If The News Makes You Sad. Go for your life. :)

Great :) (btw..i got this nice cd yesterday)..
Just call me Patrick or Pat.. the 91 is there because i just had to add a number at a certain point in time.. and it is still there.. not my age of date of birth..
Keep up the lyric-thing! Maybe the band could be helpfull?

Small retraction here guys - the artwork for the album does not incorporate the lyrics for And They All Fell Into the Sea at all, rather those of A Promise. Silly me. :P

OK you may have met me at the merch stall at a gig sometime, yes, it's me, the devilishly handsome man taking your hard earned pennies off you ! Lyrics I might be able to help with having listened to A LOT of them playing live and on record :0)

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with the lyrics to If Eilert Loevborg.. I love it, but I can't quite figure out all they sing.

I got this so far (thanks in advance):

Come on, hither
you know you made your bed
You claim a bleeding heart
will *??????*
so if you'd stay for love
oh won't you stay for love? oh, oh

I write these letters
from a certain pain
I let the ink flow
like the blood from my veins
and if you'd stay for love
oh, you won't you stay for love? oh, oh

Now, won't you *send it over* (?)
Just to *say you care* (?)
'Cause, I don't wanna write it
if you don't wanna read it
If you gotta go,
won't you take with you
my loneliness?

And does your husband know
the lies that we've kept?
and if he ever felt that warmth from your bed
and if you stayed for love
oh won't you stay for love?

Now, won't you *send it over* (?)
Just to *say you care* (?)
'Cause, I don't wanna write it
if you don't wanna read it
If you gotta go,
then won't you take with you
my loneliness?

You know you come to me at night
when it's cold
You know the *loss of love* (?)
with your hands around my throat
And wont you stay for love?
oh won't you stay my life?

Now, won't you *send it over* (?)
Just to *say you care* (?)
'Cause, I don't wanna write it
if you don't wanna read it
If you gotta go,
won't you take with you
my loneliness?
Take with you my loneliness x 3

Aah!

:)

so far so good you did it. that was helpfull enough for me cause i could understand almost nothing. thanks

(Most of) the lyrics for "If Eilert Loevborg Wrote a Song, It Would Sound Like This":

Come on, Hedda,
you know you've made your bed
You claim a bleeding heart
will *??????*
so if you'd stay for love
Would you stay for love?

I write these letters
from my cellar of pain
I let the ink flow
like the blood from my veins
and if you'd stay for love
oh, you won't you stay for love?

And won't you send a note
Or just a sign you care
'Cause, I don't wanna write it
if you don't wanna read it
If you gotta go,
then won't you take with you
my loneliness?

And does your husband know
the lies that we've kept?
and has he ever felt that warmth from your bed?
and if you stayed for love
oh won't you stay for love?

Now, won't you send a note
Or just a sign you care
'Cause, I don't wanna write it
if you don't wanna read it
If you gotta go,
then won't you take with you
my loneliness?

You know you come to me at night
when it's cold
Do you know the loves I've lost
from your hands around my throat?
Won't you stay for love?
Oh, won't you stay for?

And if you send a note
Or just a sign you care
'Cause, I don't wanna write it
if you don't wanna read it
If you gotta go,
then won't you take with you
my loneliness?
Take with you my loneliness x 3

Is Hedda a name? :)
Thanks for the corrections, also.

I always thought it was Heather: "Now come on Heather".

love the lyrics.. why not just post them all up here guys???????

Just a reply to let you know i am still here :)

If Eliert wrote a song... ohhh that one's real wicked!!.. I've found this song while I'm doing little bit research on . Cuz, this 'brilliant' play is what my drama class group is working on now for final project! Well... I thought the relationship between Hedda & Eilert was... not exactly love... surely...nor companionship.....Anyhow, the idea beneath this song is awesome!!

“A Promise” – Broken Records

On this hill top, I buried you
As a younger man,
We gathered round your empty house
And spoke of how you were so loved,
And as the sun died I promised I
Would you seek you out,
And now the years have withered me
And soon I’ll claim you for my arms again,

And if our hearts are destined here,
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
Then all our love will rise again
And we'll float out to the sea

Some of that was worth correcting, so:

“A Promise” – Broken Records

On this hill top, I buried you
As a younger man,
We gathered round your empty house
And spoke of how you were so loved,
And as the sun died I promised
I Would seek you out,
And now the years have withered me
And soon I’ll claim you for my arms again,

And if our hearts are destined here,
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
Well all our love will rise again

And if our hearts are destined here,
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
Then all our love will rise again
And we'll float out to the sea

thanks Dana !! I was looking for the lyrics, I've just discovered Broken Records thanks to the last Skins episod.

LIES

So, out of line with the stars in the sky
With our feet wet of dew,
We will sing, me and you
With your hands on my chest
Saying ‘I loved you the best’
And kiss me, kiss me,
Oh…

Take you hands from my hands
Close the door, silently
In an hour or so, you’ll kiss your husband’s lips
In the fleeting remorse
You know it's the pain that’s so good
And kiss me
Kiss me, oh…

And if you want me to lie
Then I'll lie, I don't mind X2
'Cause you're telling me

Jagged thorns
Cut my lips
make them pale, make them bleed
Burst your face down my chest
And save your tears for someone good
Did you think this was love?
Did you think you're the first?
Then kiss me, kiss me,
Oh…

And if you want me to lie
Then I'll lie, I don't mind X2
'Cause you're telling me x4

-----------------
I also have most of the words of Wolves & If the news make you sad...
But I'm still figuring out some of the words ^^

Cheers GiGi! I like this song a lot!

hello all, met jamie a couple of times and he told me he doesnt like speaking about lyrics lol and i tried to get him drunk but didnt work :( but here is my guess to some of the songs. they mite b a bit wrong but correct away :)

lovers'pact

and she came to me
under the stars
and we were running from
are parents scars
and with tired eyes
we watched the skies
and she says to me..

ah no no no no

and we made a pact
to end it all

and we tied the stones
on to our souls
and into the sea
she follows me
and she says to me

ah no no no no

and then i give myself away

and she came to me
under the stars
and we watched the sea
swalllow the land
and with tired eyes
we watched the skies

If Eilert Loevborg wrote a song, it would sound like this

come on heather you know you've made your bed
you claim a bleeding heart but stone doesn't melt
so if you'd stay for, love
oh wont you stay for love

i write these letters from my sudden pain
i let the ink flow like the blood from my vains
and if you'd stay for, love
oh wont you stay for love

and wont you, send a note out just to say you care
cause I, dont want to write it if you, dont want to read it if you
gotta go then wont you take with you my loneliness

and does your husband know the lies that we've kept
and has he ever felt that warmth from your bed
and if you'd stay for, love
oh wont you stay for love

and wont you, send.....

d'you know you come to me at night when it's cold
d'you know the loves I've lost from your hands round my throat
and wont you stay for love
and wont you state my LIVE

and wont you....
